Shy Senior

Day 4 and not one pound lost yet - following strictly too. But feel better and now get starving hungry at times which I never did before ;; a good thing.

Kathy - per your suggestion I got the hand weights since with my MS and fused back walking and exercise are limited. Laughed though - I got 2# hand weights . . . I thought. Turns out they are 2.2 Kg which = 6 Lbs !! Wondered why they felt so heavy but thought is was just poor muscle tone.

Laurie - per your suggestion I went to Linda's Recipe site and got tons of great ideas. I was feeling down because had no idea what to eat other than straight meat and cheese. Now I am back cooking again, which I do all the time, and doing only legal items. Life is good again.

Gman - per you suggestion I got cans of tuna to put on salad greens and to make tuna salad. Also started making your veggie omelets. Yum. And made hamburger soup with the sliced greens you suggested. That is great and will be a mainstay for me.

Also as suggested I went to You Tube with a Low Carb search as well as Atkins and was amazed at all the videos and help there. Who Knew ??

I am discouraged that day 4 has brought no weight loss yet but I can feel body changes so I know my metabolism is changing around. Got the Ketone strips as suggested and now show "trace" which I had not before. Slow start but I have all the time in the world to get it right.

I also went to Ticker Factory and got one set up for me - but how do I insert it into my profile here so it shows up? Or do you have to "Capture" it (which I can do) and include it as a photo?

TKS for all the help - you got me over a rough spot and off to a good beginning.

Mike if you copy the web site address for your finished ticker from the section designed for message boards you can paste the location into the bottom of your signature page. (go to cp user and click on EDIT SIGNATURE then go to the bottom to add it)

Be sure to take measurements too. Lots of times the scale might not move but the tape measure sure does.

Re: Shy Senior

That's right - muscle weighs more than fat - you may be losing inches and not pounds yet. Just keep at it - make sure you are eating enough veggies and sticking with the plan.....if you don't eat enough carbs then you won't lose but also if you eat too many you won't either. So just make sure you are trying to eat around 20 carbs per day since you are on induction.

Good luck! I know it won't be long before that scale moves.....
